Abstract: Utilization of alternative fuels in transport is promoted in many EU documents and regulations. A document which has an impact on the development of infrastructure for alternative fuels is the Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, which establishes a common framework for measures relating to infrastructure development of alternative fuels in the EU. [..] Read more

Abstract: The driver behaviours are one of the crucial determinant for the transportation system functioning, especially within the city. They are shaped mainly by driver’s individual perception of reality. [..] Read more

Abstract: The observed in recent times cost-oriented approach based on reliability of technical systems operations enforces engineering staff to implement modern attitude in facility maintenance oriented towards preventive inspections as well as continual supervision over the technical condition of machines and equipment. An example of such approach can be a facility management system established by American aviation and arms industry oriented on RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance). [..] Read more

Abstract: The subject of this paper is describing what the virtualization of supply chains means for the functioning of logistics companies. Attention shall be paid to what virtualization is and how it is used with respect to logistics, but also, what are the advantages of its application in supply chains.. [..] Read more

Abstract: Urban development and the influx of people causes new problems posed in front of city authorities. Good solutions are those used in the area of logistics. [..] Read more

Abstract: To evaluate the efficiency of transport subsystem in complex logistics structures it should be assessed in terms of quantitative and valuable assessment. The quantitative assessment of its efficiency testify such indicators as performed tonne-kilometers, the number of items handled, the actual working time of transport, the quantity of goods carried, transport costs per tonne-kilometer and per consignment, utilization of working time and transport capacities owned means of transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: Creating a virtual model takes an individual approach. A company’s structure and organization must always be taken into account. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper is devoted to the selected heuristics for lot-sizing and scheduling problem for identical parallel machines. The lot-sizing and scheduling problem is a well-known problem in industrial engineering and logistics management, since it is crucial for inventory control and production planning. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper is devoted to the timetabling problem and interval synchronization in urban public communication, which is considered as an important issue in urban transport networks with long overlapping route segments. The main objective of interval synchronization is to determine the timetable of lines sharing route segments, so that the waiting time between arrivals of consecutive buses can be balanced. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents logistic aspects of procedures connected to complaints against suppliers of aluminum coils that are used in a production process of beverage cans. The process of shaping a body of a can from aluminum stripes is exceptionally precise and thus, the material has to meet standardized requirements. [..] Read more
